Su Ming sat at the tea table, inwardly complaining as well.
If he still couldn't find one, he planned to go to other countries to invite other gods; he couldn't afford to waste too much time.
But it was at this time.
Iwagami Teahouse.
The sixth brother, Zhongli, finally made his appearance.
He sat down in his usual spot, and the shopkeeper immediately came over.
"Mr. Zhongli, you've finally arrived!"
Zhongli looked completely bewildered: "Uh, what does the shopkeeper mean by this?"
The shopkeeper immediately explained:
“A couple of days ago, one of your friends came here for tea but forgot to bring his Mora. He left a valuable item with me as collateral, saying he would let you redeem it when you came back.”
Zhong Li was even more confused, "My friend? Pawning valuables?"
His first thought was that the shopkeeper might have been scammed.
As far as I can remember, he doesn't have many friends who would use his name to drink tea and then offer (good) items as collateral; this might be a trick.
Just as he was thinking this, the shopkeeper took out a communication jade from his person and handed it to him: "Here, look, this is the jade. I feel uneasy with this jade on me. You should take it back to your friend quickly."
Zhongli took the communication jade and could tell that it was indeed extraordinary. There was immortal energy flowing on it, and it looked like something from a familiar person.
After measuring for a few seconds, he finally made a rough guess.
This should be the skin of those people from Lishui.
But those people wouldn't go so far as to use something like this as collateral after drinking tea.
The key point is that he would dare to redeem himself, which is highly unlikely.
After all, those people didn't know that they were in human form, let alone that they often came to this teahouse to drink tea.
The person who mortgaged this item seems to know themselves very well.
Could it be that someone kidnapped Liu Yun and the others, and left this item so that they could make contact?
Thinking of this, Zhongli's expression became somewhat serious.
Chapter 164 Zhongli: Are you taking me for a fool? (Please subscribe)
This possibility is very high.
There are several people who can manage water.
Knowing that he was the incarnation of Zhongli, he often came to this teahouse.
The other party must be someone extraordinary.
"I understand. Besides mortgaging this jade to you, did that person say anything else?" Zhongli asked the shopkeeper, wanting to know more clues.
The shopkeeper shook his head. "He didn't explain anything."
"If that's the case, it's that the original price for the tea was 10,000 mora, and then that distinguished guest said that when you came to redeem it, you would need 20,000 mora."
The original price was 10,000, but the other party offered 20,000?
Does this person think they're a great victim?
Zhongli carefully examined the details inside.
However, no useful information was found.
Since that's the case, we have no choice but to start with this communication jade.
But before you start, you must find a suitable place.
Zhongli said leisurely:
"I understand. Put the 20,000 Mora on the account of the Rebirth Hall. I have some things to attend to now, so I won't have any tea."
With that, he stood up and walked out of the teahouse.
Watching the other person's departing figure, the shopkeeper called out:
"No need, this tea is on me. If you have something to do, please go ahead and do your thing. Please come again soon!"
……
Left the teahouse.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhongli went to a deserted place.
Then he took out the communication jade and infused it with a trace of immortal power.
The communication jade immediately floated up and even projected images.
The images in the 300 images are familiar faces.
It was none other than the True Lord of Water Management and the True Lord of Moon Shaving.
Neither Li Shui nor the other person knew that Zhong Li was the Emperor.
My first thought was that something might have happened to Shen He and Su Ming.
He asked with a serious expression:
"Who are you? Why do you possess my communication jade?!"
This left Zhongli somewhat bewildered.
Shouldn't he be the one asking that question?
Why would someone have their own communication tokens?
Moreover, why are the opponents Lishui and Xiaoyue?
In a moment of confusion, he quickly revealed his identity:
"I am the Emperor."
"Your Majesty?" Li Shui and Xiao Yue were also stunned, looking at each other.
But I don't doubt the truthfulness of what the other party said.
Because of the tone and expression of the other person.
It's something that no one else can imitate.
The two were quite excited after confirming it.
He first bowed to Zhongli, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Zhongli nodded slightly.
Li Shui said, "Since it is Your Majesty, you must have seen Shen He and Su Ming, right?"
This left Zhongli completely bewildered once again.
"Shen He? Su Ming?"
He did have some impression of Shen He.
Because the other party was Liu Yun's apprentice, and Liu Yun had mentioned him before.
(ahbj)
But he couldn't understand Su Ming.
Seeing Zhongli's bewildered expression, Lishui and the other person were also bewildered.
"Could it be that Your Majesty did not see those two?"
This left them puzzled.
If I didn't see it.
Then why is his communication stone in the Emperor's hands?
He only gave his communication stone to those two people.
Seeing the other person's confused and puzzled look, Zhongli explained:
"This token is from me..."
He recounted the whole story of the teahouse incident.
This gradually made Rika and the other person understand some things.
But I only understand some of it, not all of it.
But Risui also knew how to solve these mysteries.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I gave you two communication stones. One of them is with you now, and the other is with Shen He. I'll try to contact her to see what's going on."
"Hmm." Zhongli nodded slightly, also eager to solve this mystery.
Then, Li Shui channeled a wisp of immortal power into the communication stone in front of her, attempting to contact Shen He's communication stone.
The other side responded very quickly.
The same image appeared.
The scene is set in a kitchen.
Some of the people were even cooking.
But Shen He naturally occupies the majority of the video feed.
Seeing that they had already contacted Shen He, Li Shui quickly asked:
"Girl, where are you now? It looks like a kitchen in the human world."
Shen He nodded and said, "It is indeed in the kitchen. Does the True Lord need something from me?"
"Yes, there are some things, but before we talk about them, could you call Su Ming over? I need to ask him some questions."
Because the communication stone in Zhongli's hand is Su Ming's.
Li Shui felt that only by asking Su Ming face-to-face could she find out the truth more quickly.
Before Shen He could answer.
Su Ming walked over from the side and appeared directly in the frame.
Upon seeing Li Shui and Xiao Yue in the image, before the other party could ask, he inquired first: "So, have the two True Lords made contact with the Emperor?"
Li Shui and Xiao Yue nodded, indicating that they had found it.
Su Ming immediately lit up with joy, "Then where is he now?"
He had originally planned to give up if he couldn't find it, and then go to other countries to invite other gods. But just when he was about to give up, he actually found it. How could he not be happy?
However, Risui was not in a hurry to answer the question, but instead said:
"Let's put aside the matter of the Emperor for now. Can you answer some questions for me first?"
"Go ahead and say it." Su Ming was patient and not in a hurry. Instead, he was curious about what the other party wanted him to answer.
Li Shui asked directly:
"Do you still have the communication jade I gave you before?"
"This..." Su Ming scratched his head awkwardly, not intending to hide it, "It's gone. I just came to Liyue a couple of days ago and went to a teahouse for tea. I didn't have any Mora with me, so I pawned it."
After hearing this, Li Shui and Xiao Yue understood everything.
It turns out that this sixth brother pawned the communication stone.
Then, by sheer coincidence, the Emperor happened to run into them.
No, rather than encountering each other.
It's more like everything was part of the design, as if it was done intentionally!
They had just heard the Emperor say that the person who mortgaged the communication stone was specifically asking Zhongli, who had transformed into a mortal, to redeem it.
This looks like it.
Su Ming seemed to already know that the Emperor's mortal incarnation was Zhongli!
